The Peacock and His Flowering Garden
The first ever Manchester Day Parade took place on 20th June 2010. Commissioned by Manchester City Council, its aim was to celebrate everything that is uniquely Mancunian.
The Peacock, national bird of India, also represents qualities synonymous with Manchester - a bird and city full of beauty and pride.
Claire, as designer and project manager, worked with artist Graham Robinson to produce the Peacock for the Indian Association section of The Manchester Day Parade. She also worked with children from selected schools to make their lotus flower and lily pad hats; the elements of the Peacock's Flowering Garden.
